6 Reasons Gisele Is Having the Best Summer Ever

Gisele Bündchen, the world's most famous Brazilian, turns 34 on July 20, but she's got way more than a birthday to celebrate. The world's highest-paid supermodel, she's in nearly every fashion campaign from now until...the foreseeable future. And while it's beachy-waves season (a.k.a. her moment), Gisele's new Balenciaga ads prove that her allure isn't just about that gorgeous hair of hers. Some supermodels have all the luck.

Replacing Brad Pitt as the face of the scent, she's clearly in good company. Looks like her status as the world's highest-paid supermodel is on lock. It's not her first time modeling for Chanel: She was the face of the brand's Les Beiges beauty collection earlier this year, too.

Women around the world ask their hairstylists to give them Bundchen's perfectly tousled waves. And it's with good reason: Have you seen her Pantene ads? She pulls them off effortlessly, year-round. Beach or no beach. We're betting not a spritz of salt spray is required.

In the new Balenciaga ads, she's sporting a supershort crop, which appears to be courtesy of Photoshop. No matter. Gisele proves she doesn't need those signature waves to look drop-dead sexy. We're calling it: This could be the campaign that launches a thousand buzz cuts.

5. Her Native Brazil Is Hosting the Fifa World Cup—and She's Presenting the Trophy.

Despite a heartbreaking loss to Germany in the quarterfinals, Gisele had plenty of time to cheer on her team. "Soccer has always been a huge part of the culture of Brazil," she recently told Elle Canada. She's also presenting the World Cup Trophy. In a custom-made Louis Vuitton trunk. That's an honor usually bestowed upon the host country's leader, so we'll let you read between the lines on that one.
